Camille Claudel 1864-1943 was a French sculptor of whose work little remains and who for many years was best known as the mistress and muse of Auguste Rodin. She was also the sister of Paul Claudel whose journals and memoirs provide much of the scant information available on his sister's life. Claudel and Rodin probably first met in 1883. Shortly thereafter she became his student collaborator model and mistress. While continuing to work on her own pieces she is believed to have contributed as a typical studio assistant or student would have whole figures and parts of figures to Rodin's projects of that period particularly to The Gates of Hell.
